Baseball began in the late 1700s but really took off during the Civil War. One way that it is different today is that some of the rules are different. For example it used to take 8 balls before a player could walk.

It depends on your definition of baseball. The early form of bat and ball games was brought to North America by English immigrants. Rounders was also brought to the continent by both British and Irish immigrants. The first known American reference to baseball appears in a 1791 Pittsfield, Massachusetts, town bylaw prohibiting the playing of the game near the town's new meeting house
